About Spark!
SPARK! provides over 700 hours of additional arts education in MCPS schools each year through over 100 arts integrated residencies in classrooms. The SPARK! Showcase is an opportunity for the community to catch a glimpse of the amazing arts learning happening in classrooms throughout the school year. Come create and contribute! See and experience dance, music, media arts, theatre, and visual arts and discover how kids learn about other content areas through the arts during this fun-filled evening for the entire family.
SPARK! Arts Ignite Learning is a national partner in the John F. Kennedy Center’s Any Given Child Initiative. We believe that the Arts have the power to ignite the imagination, spark innovation through creativity, and transform learning. SPARK! works in collaboration with artists, classroom teachers, University of Montana staff, MCPS school administration, local businesses, and volunteers to ensure that the arts are an essential part of every school day.
